Looking forward to seeing Conca in the side to round off the middle group. Vlastuin-Ellis-Conca. As Ghod intended.
Midfeild taking shape
2nd teir - Vlastuin-Ellis-Conca
1st - Deledio/Cotchin/Martin/SEdwards/Foley/Newman/Tuck
I agree. I would even suggest that Conca is ahead of the other two at the moment given the form he was in before being injured. Our last three first round picks are all solid, classy players. We have recruited and developed well here
Next step is to find a quick elusive forward/wingman.
Foley is an inside mid and depth player now. Tuck the same. Newy matches up on the 'high-forward' that pushes up the wings which every teams seems to have now but sits mid table now in terms of our midfield depth too. I just hope players such as Arnot and Helbig can make a case to remain at the club.
The negatives to our midfield for mine remain Jackson and White. Both have strong positive attributes (Jackson's athleticism, strength and leadership and White's speed, endurance and core strength) but both have major flaws to their disposal and decision making. Jackson's decision making and disposal were particularly ordinary at times yesterday.
The positives for the future are clear though when a player like Vlaustin, in his first year and after only 4 games, shows such great execution and poise. Our midfield will be the best in the comp in no time
